Waca, Friday 10th February

Insert rambling about how Sri Lanka are struggling and Australia should be shortish favourites for this one here.

Scorecard

Sri Lanka have sent us in to bat. Forrest clearly pours a good gatorade and will continue to do so.

It's about 37 degrees in Perth today, I think I'd rather be batting first and bowling/fielding when it's cooler later on this evening.

Thought I'd just sneak in a quick Channel 9 Bash. That memory lane thingy with Dodemaide was 1988 not 1998.

Just sayin' ;)

Sounds like a plan to me!

Jayawardene says he's unsure what a good total is to post and therefore would rather chase. 300+ sounds pretty good to me. Here Sir Lanka, u can chase that. :)

Bit surprised to see no Forrest after a fair bit of press about him playing this game. Good decision though, too ealry in this comp to be flirting with the side. Win this one and Sri Lanka probably wont make the final so we can start to play around with the side then.

Jayawardene - "Australia's bowling attack is weakened due to no Mitchell Johnson or Brett Lee".

Get with the times Mahela.
Obviously Mahela didn't watch much of the Aus v India test series, mind you it's a different bowling attack in this game apart from Harris.

300+ would do very nicely, thanks.
Like your username, by the way. :D What happens if you swap the C and the St?

So, is this game still UNTELEVISED anywhere in Perth?? Heard someone from Ch 9 on the radio this morning saying that its the WACA who make the call if its on or not.

I would rather a 3hr delay than no coverage at all!!!

EDIT: I get the reason why the grounds make the call, don't show it live to make people buy tickets and go to the ground...but honestly....what % of people go "Hrmm its not on TV so I'm going to spend $45 to sit in the sun and watch cricket on a 37c day when I had no intenions of going to the cricket in the first place? Oh, and chances are I have work as its a FRIDAY"

If you were going to go to the cricket, you would have already planned to go.
